Emily + Conor
The Ranch at Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach, California, USA
Second shot for Cambria Shelley
This definitely wasn’t your average golf course wedding. Emily and Conor found the most incredible spot tucked between California’s mountains, where every direction you looked came with a view worth pausing for. The whole day was soaked in sunshine — bright, warm, and full of laughter — the kind of weather that perfectly matched their personalities.
When I arrived, they were already buzzing with excitement. You could just tell they couldn’t wait to see each other. That nervous, happy energy was contagious — everyone around them felt it. Their first look was one of those moments you can’t help but smile through; pure joy and relief all wrapped up in one.
What stood out to me most was how much they cared about their guests. Every detail felt intentional — from thoughtful welcome bags to little touches that made the day comfortable and fun for everyone. It wasn’t just about creating pretty details; it was about creating an experience. Emily and Conor wanted their friends and family to feel as loved and celebrated as they did. Surrounded by mountains, sunshine, and so many smiles, it was one of those weddings that just felt right from start to finish.
